A Poem: Mother's Day

Dedicated to my girls.

Why is Mother's Day so special to me?

Well, in truth this Sunday in May means little.
Very little in fact.
It holds no special significance. It's just another day.
Cards and hugs and kisses and smiles are indeed lovely.
Thank you for showering me with this attention and affection.
This Sunday they call Mother's Day means very little to me.

You see...
Every day is Mother's Day in my life.
I have you and I have you.
You give me hugs and kisses and smiles every single day.
You make me cards and tell me you love me.
Every day is a special day because I have you two.

I remember before we had you Ellie.
Life was empty without you. We didn't know how empty till you came home.
Your smiles and laughter opened up our lives.
Your love and caring and silly voices gives us so much each day.
Mother's Day is every day with you in my life.

I remember before we had you Sagan.
In my heart you were a promise to bring new depth to my life.
To be a sister to Ellie and an joy to mommy.
Your love and caring and stubbornness gives us so much happiness each day.
Mother's Day is every day with you in my life.

Now that I have the two of you. Life is complete.
My life is filled with things I never new I would have.
Your joys are my joys. Your tears are my tears.
Every day my heart leaps when you wake up and come to say "Good Morning."
Every day my heart leaps when you snuggle next to me. Your warm skin next to mine.

Mother's Day is, simply said, just one day out of 365 days you cherish me for being your mommy.
It is but a fraction of the year that I am celebrated.
I look forward to my other 238 days of "Mother's Days" this year.

I love you Bella. I love you Saysay.
You are everything a mother could ever wish for.

A life without you is no life.
